Illuminating compact binary formation and evolution with gravitational waves

Cardiff University

Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

Gravitational waves are emitted by compact binaries—pairs of black holes and/or neutron stars—spiralling around each other at close to the speed of light before colliding in a violent coalescence. Read more

Supervisors: Dr IRS Romero-Shaw, Dr F Antonini

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

How do giant storms form, and how is heat redistributed across the atmospheres of fast-rotating planets?

University of Southampton

Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Supervisor. Dr Joao Manuel Mendonca. What drives Jupiter’s powerful jets and giant storms? Use advanced three-dimensional climate simulations to explore how clouds and turbulence shape giant planets’ weather. Read more

Nanosculpting antiferromagnets to explore novel electronic transport

University of Warwick

Department of Physics

Electronic functionality from unconventional antiferromagnets. Can we sculpt antiferromagnetic materials into devices to reveal new physics and control their emergent behaviour? Antiferromagnets contain ordered magnetic moments that typically cancel one another. Read more

Supervisor: Dr MB Birch

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Open quantum systems and quantum light–matter interactions

The University of Manchester

Department of Physics and Astronomy

Quantum systems are never perfectly isolated from their surroundings. Interactions with environmental degrees of freedom can profoundly alter quantum behaviour, producing dissipation and decoherence but also giving rise to new physical phenomena that cannot be understood by considering the system alone.
